LIVE: Braves acquire Jorge Soler & Luke Jackson
The Braves have finally made a move – and it looks like Braves fans are getting what they asked for. World Series MVP, Jorge Soler will make his return to Atlanta as a Brave. But, he is not coming alone. Included in the trade is Luke Jackson, a reliever from the 2021 team. It’s easy to assume that the Braves are far from done with another day in front of us. But, what a move by Alex Anthopoulos. Tune in now to discuss.

Interesting move for the Braves should be interesting to see what they do next later on today before the deadline
You expect too much. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the only trade they make. Maybe another tiny move for a depth guy or bullpen piece. One thing im certain of though is that there isn't going to be "a bunch of moves". That's also fine.
The reality is this season isnt going to succeed or fail based on a deadline trade. For this team to have a chance Fried, Sale, Lopez and Schwellenbach have to stay healthy and Riley, Olson and Murphy need to get their crap together at the plate, Ozuna needs to keep up what he's been doing and Harris and Albies need to be healthy and swinging by October. Anything else and I don't care who they trade for, they could get Aaron Judge and it wouldn't save them.
Why don't braves make offer to scherzer he's poss available and for ss reaquire dansby swanson
Who’s going to play outfield? Soler and Ozuna haven’t played outfield at all this year.
I like getting soler back. Not so sure about luke. Why focus on his 12 HR? Same issue in 2022 slumping with Royals cane to Braves and well we know .. we need another bat. And a starter. But good to wake uo to this news. We didn't give uo much. Matzek injured. Not the same anymore and a minor keaguer. So worth the shot.
Rosario, Duvall, Soler….He replaces Acuna with theEXACT same 3 players he did last time. Unfortunately the only one who can still hit doesn't play a lick of outfield so….WTF
Honestly, i think we should stand still. Blood some of the younger players in the latter part of the season and give them experience.
We need the next guys coming through so we have the depth for next year.
Whilst im not suggesting we punt on this season, i am sayjng that this isnt the season to go all on thats for certain.
Soler is ok but Luke Jackson is 🗑️AA with more BS moves that hurts more than it helps
Why? This is really dumb. Just call the season a loss and try next year.
I'm shocked that we traded. I really am. I will be even more shocked if we trade another.
🗑️🗑️🗑️
Why would the braves even sign Luke Jackson he didn't do anything for the braves when he was there and then the way Alex treated Jorge Soler If i was him I would think about it long and hard before coming back I mean there's something going on with Alex to trade the MVP of the World Series, I grant this would never happen to any of the other players on this team that leads me and many others to think there's something going on with Alex.
Duval and Arcia both needs to go and bench some of these players who are not producing like they should, when certain other players go into a slump fans are quick to talk about trading them but when others go into a slump or just don't produce at all they all go into a silent mode, if you're not helping the team then you're hurting them point blank and I don't care who are.
Ok good move getting Soler know go and get Randy.
Snitker's bullpen management is highly questionable. It is worthy of criticism especially when the injuries to the.pen have been minimal.
Baldwin is in Fangraphs top 100 prospects. In AAA, hes hit the cover off the ball. His EVs are elite and will be a centerpiece trade asset.
Yea i don't know about this. Why do u keep talking about pitching? Pitching has been good all year, Duval and Arcia are killing this lineup and i don't see a thing getting better with these moves. It was going to be hard to keep up with the Mets and Phillies no matter what moves they made, but now i don't see them making the playoffs
And why not get into a bidding war for a game changing young exciting player. But no they have to act like a small market team and be cheap as always. It's going to cost them a playoff spot this year
It's hard to judge Soler current homerun stats playing in San Francisco hurts power hitters
Ozzie is the core of this team… our identity. But… so waa Freddie
Send Luke Jackson down to the minors. That dude sucks big time.
